Federal Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling
According to Federal regulations, a student is required to complete an entrance counseling session prior to the release of the first disbursement of their first Federal Stafford Loan made at the school they are currently attending. At this time you will be informed of your rights and responsibilities as a borrower. When a student borrows a loan, they are obligated to repay the loan after graduation or at such time as they cease to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis.
If at any time throughout your college career you have any questions concerning your student loan, feel free to contact the Office of Financial Aid or your lender. You may also contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center at (800) 4-FED-AID with questions regarding the Federal Stafford Loan or any other form of Federal Aid.
You may complete the counseling requirement at this time. You will be directed to AES/PHEAA's Online Loan Counseling. Follow the instructions, answer the questions, and complete the electronic submission form. If you have any questions you may contact the Office of Financial Aid by e-mail or phone at (570)389-4297. The office is open 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you have problems connecting or other transmission errors, please contact AES/PHEAA at (800)692-7392.
